Review Of Atlantis News
It seems like nothing unusual, the official Atlantis News website informs you that they are the largest private and uncensored newsgroup provider on the usenet. Binaries, pictures, movies, music… everything is there. While reading the other information on their website and considering the website design, it is very easy to notice that the last time this website was updated was probably more than five years ago. Further, while still examining the information available, you may easily become uncertain whether they are really still in the business.
Retention time and download speed
The information that the retention time (for binary groups) off more than 21 days is the best available does not sound very serious. On the other hand, more than 365 days for the text groups sounds solid. The download speed of 500k/second was maybe rather good five years ago, but today, certainly is not.
Server and ports
The address of the server is news.atlantisnews.com and there is also an option to connect directly through the following IP address: 66.250. 146. 163. The ports available are standard 119, but the 23, 25 and 80 are available as well. They recommend no more than 4 simultaneous connections to the server, although the user may have up to 8. Also, there are 50,000 groups available.
Completion
As usual, it is stated that the completion is 99.9%.
Privacy
They don’t keep the logs of downloads and they never distribute the personal information to the third side. Every download is 100% anonymous and every post has all the identifying information taken out through the “one-of-a-kind” posting server.
Support
The customer support claims to be the best, offering 24 hours a day availability.
Pricing
There are eight packages available starting from $3.95 for the 3-day trial. The packages differ in gigabytes per month or megabytes per day. Although the most expensive “Premium Supreme Ultimate” package offers no limit for the daily download, you cannot exceed 210 GB in one month. The prices for the packages are $9.95, $14.95, $19.95, $29.95 and $49.95 for the 8, 24, 45, 90, 210 GB per month respectively.
Recommendation
In the past, we could even consider them, but according to their webpage, the time has stopped for them five years ago.
